Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Were you raised by a gun guy?

Well, kinda sorta.

My Dad borrowed a Customized B 303 that’s all
I know about it. It sat beside the front door a few
nights before he went deer hunting.

That rifle put the RIFLE in me.

We squirrel and quail hunted each year so hunting and guns were in my young life.

@ 1960 or so Dad bought a 760, 30-06 and it
looked new to me. Later I used it to hunt when Dad wasn’t.

I was married before I bought my own deer rifle
(I guess you’d call it).
I was NEVER impressed with its limits.

2 yrs later I bought my first 243 and then got on the slippery slide of Rifle Loonyism.
There is NO cure.

So, guns & hunting were in my life at a young age.
My G pa loved to deer hunt..there were FEW deer
in the 60s and he never killed a deer.

I’m thankful for my family’s interest.
